Road
There are a number of Channel crossings to choose from depending on your preference for short or long, and whether you wish to stop en route. Your route in France can be planned using www.viamichelin.com or www.mappy.fr

At "Driving directions" enter Castelnau Riviere Basse with the post code as 65700.
We are easily found, being on a hillside overlooking the D935 which is the main road from Riscle to Maubourguet.

Take the D58 next to Chateau Montus, which is clearly identifiable and is a major producer of Madiran (red wine) and Pacherenc (white). Immediately turn left on to the minor road running parallel with the main road. After around 200 yards, La Teranga (the first house) is visible on the hill to your right.

There is a motorail service from Lille to Toulouse which we have used and found to be excellent but make sure you book an evening meal in advance if you take this option as on the spot booking can be difficult/impossible.
Snacks and drinks are served on the train but these are not only limited in choice but also in quantity and have been known to run out.
